English term or phrase: Getting up there
Hola, al analizar los resultados de una operación aparece:

So you are getting up there, so these days, you can get about maybe a 75% chance of hitting your target, it is not the 90% chance that you would like to be getting, but it’s getting up there, the results are not bad like they used to be, they are tolerably good is how I put it.

¿Alguna sugerencia para "getting up there? Gracias.

Para aproximarnos al tono informal y creativo en que está escrito el texto a traducir, propongo:
"estás empezando a manejar un poco el tema"
"estás empezando a manejar un pelín el tema"
"estás empezando a dominar un poco el tema"
"estás comenzando a componértelas"
"estás comenzando a desenvolverte"
"estás comenzando a apañarte"
"estás comenzando a valerte"
